Search Text I - in label

In addition to browsing by category, you can also access variable documentation by searching for keywords that appear in the variable label, root, or category. Following our sample research question, let's search for variables associated with knee symptoms. From the single-page annotated PDF, for "knee symptoms," which we saw earlier in this tutorial, we know that "stiffness" is a key related term.

To begin, please click on the search/browse link in the upper menu under Data & Documentation to bring up the search/browse interface. Next type "knee stiffness" into the Keyword or phrase box and press the "Search/Browse" button. Notice that your search phrase is bold and highlighted in yellow where it matches in a label.

Also notice the labels with the grey background (WOMSTFR). As the key explains, these labels are suggested labels that ascend up the family tree of form logic and help reveal the broader context of your search phrase.
